Description: A creeping, unsettling amnesia of the senses—that's the unsettling beauty of David Mackenzie's "Perfect Sense." This isn't a typical romance; it's a poignant exploration of human connection in the face of existential dread. As a mysterious pandemic robs humanity of its senses, one by one, the film doesn't shy away from the raw, visceral fear this would engender. Instead, it focuses on the intimacy forged amidst chaos, the desperate clinging to connection in a world dissolving around its characters. Eva Green and Ewan McGregor deliver nuanced performances, their evolving relationship mirroring the crumbling world. "Perfect Sense" isn't a comfortable watch; it's a challenging, thought-provoking meditation on love, loss, and the fragile nature of our perceptions. It's a film that lingers long after the credits roll, prompting reflection on the things we truly value. This quiet masterpiece deserves a place on your watchlist.
